R.E.M. - Airportman Lyrics






He moves efficiently
Beyond security.
Great opportunity awaits.
Airport fluorescent
Creature of habit
Labored breathing and sallow skin
Recycled air
Moving sidewalks
Great opportunity blinks.
Great opportunity blinks.
Discounted.

The people mover
The people mover
Discounted.

R.E.M. Airportman Comments
  1. R.... L....

    great album

  2. J.... H....

    LCD Soundsystem liked this !!!!

  3. H.... K....

    It may have been a difficult time for them but this is a fantastic album.I love the immersive experience.Michael Stipe said that he wished some songs were faster.Peter Buck wished the album was two songs shorter..but can't think of which two songs to kick out.An extraordinary classic album.

  4. T.... 2....

    Amazing song, hints of Bowie and Eno but 100% REM

  5. D.... H....

    Love this song ❤️ A fitting way to start this album. It took me several listens to realize Michael was saying "Great opportunity" I won't tell you what I thought he was saying 😂

  6. M.... P....

    the most under rated record in the R.E.M. catalog, bar none.

  7. A.... L....

    This album was ahead of its time

    A.... L....

    Yes - without Up, possibly Radiohead's Kid A might not have existed quite as it does in my opinion.

    A.... L....

    Perhaps:)

    A.... L....

    you can almost say this to be the equivalent for a Kid B

  8. R.... B....

    he moves efficiently
    beyond security.
    great opportunity awaits.
    airport fluorescent
    creature of habit
    labored breathing and sallow skin
    recycled air

    Give a listen and take in mind they lost Billbo. This album is pretty incredible. I can say so many great things but I won't.

    r.... o....

    sometimes it's good to say only yea or nay and nothing more.

  10. J.... B....

    4 people passed a great opportunity

  11. C.... O....

    I absolutely love this song and this album. Such an under-rated album. Still sounds great today

  12. W.... T....

    This is not REM. Without Bill Berry. They should have been like Joy Division and renamed themselves.

    W.... T....

    there is a reason for all things in God's plan. Troll me if you like.

  13. R.... P....

    love this extraordinary album. Almost like a concept album from late 60s or 70s.

  14. M.... C....

    As a grunge fun, I grew up with them and still struggling about the fact they splitted

    M.... C....

    Marco Calvaruso
    You do know that R.E.M. are not a grunge band, right?

    M.... C....

    Grunge is such a weird label no band actually thinks they are grunge!!

  15. m.... P....

    this is one of my favorite REM albums. Anonymous Listener, thanks for making this available on youtube.

    m.... P....

    love this album so much!

    m.... P....

    my favorite too. i think its a masterpiece. and it boggles my mind that it isn't seen as that!

  16. D.... ....

    Something hypnotic in this...

  17. D.... C....

    !!! Up + Green!

  18. C.... K....

    I quite like it, but it would be one of the last REM albums I'd recommend to someone :p

  19. W.... ....

    Still rather down then up this album. This track, Lotus and Diminished remain the only three in my REM playlist, not even high ranking.

    W.... ....

    Willem RM i've got all albums from their greatest period (1988-2001, IMHO), and this one definitely brings up the rear... :(

    W.... ....

    i love this album

  20. S.... P....

    Super album

    S.... P....

    R.E.M. Up whole album
